here's a couple more from the same day as my earlier one. Decaying restroom facility, New Orleans City Park

Dead tree, New Orleans City ParkAll of the shots so far are unedited. The tree image could use some work so far, but my computer doesn't like anything remotely graphic or memory intense, so they'll probably stay how they are for the time being.

Allana: wow. Cuba looks fabulous. Have you ever seen this short film called Graffiti?

COOP: I am deeply envious of Alejandra's Batman top.

Sigh... I was hired by a friend's band to take photographs of them. At first they'd some weird idea of creating a story with the photos in some way, or representing each of the four men as a different Tarot card. I was excited for this, because it wouldn't be... y'know... four regular looking fellows in front of a brick wall, like every other band photo is.

We met up at a bar, where they told me they'd abandoned the previous ideas, and instead we'd just walk around town and take pictures. Outdoors. At night. What do I end up with? Hundreds of noisy photos in dim crappy lighting of various brick walls and four regular looking guys, one of whom wouldn't stop talking.

Yeah, simple and dim and "Bohemian Rhapsody" as this is, at least NOBODY IS TALKING or emotively gesturing.

I'm not actually very proud of the photographs themselves. They should have been better. However, I am pleased with my tweakery to salvage them, heavy handed and dark as it might be.
